Features: Based on years of design experience, the author introduces relevant knowledge of Autodesk's 3DS MAX 4.0 and Adobe's Photoshop 7.0 in landscape 3D rendering design and production from design examples. Combining practical cases, the book presents convenient methods and techniques for applying these two software tools in this field, progressing from simple to complex. It integrates the characteristics of different landscape atmosphere, drafting requirements, and software operation, making the book highly practical. The book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter introduces the basic functions and methods of 3DS MAX 4.0 commonly used in designing landscape architectural details and three-dimensional modeling. The second chapter covers the three-dimensional modeling of some landscape details. The remaining four chapters provide detailed instructions on modeling, material assignment, camera setup, lighting addition, scene rendering, and other procedural steps, along with methods and techniques for adding accessories and organizing scenes after importing graphics into Photoshop. Each major example in the book can be further broken down into smaller examples, allowing readers to master computer design and drafting methods and techniques in a relatively short time. All example files and materials used in the book are included on the accompanying CD-ROM, which can be referenced or used during the operation process. The book also provides reference value for other versions of 3DS MAX and Photoshop. The content is rich, examples are typical, and steps are detailed. This book is suitable for technicians engaged in landscape design, landscape planning, and flat art production using computers, as well as teaching materials for relevant institutions or training courses.
